Antonio Giovinazzi was announced as part of Ferrari’s six-strong driver line-up who will compete in this year’s FIA WEC as part of their Hypercar campaign.

安東尼奧·吉奧維納茲此前正式加入到法拉利新賽季強(qiáng)大的六人車組，成為法拉利挑戰(zhàn)WEC Hypercar冠軍的一員。

We spoke to Giovinazzi about the year ahead and what we can expect from Ferrari as the marque makes its highly-anticipated return to the top class of endurance racing...

此次回歸耐力賽最高組別，法拉利可謂是被眾人寄予厚望，我們也采訪了Gio，聊了聊他個人，和車隊(duì)，新賽季的期望。

Hi Antonio, a very warm welcome to the WEC! Can you tell us a little bit about your journey with Ferrari in WEC and the reasons for joining the series in 2023?

你好，安東尼奧，非常高興看到你重回WEC！你能說說你至今同法拉利的WEC之旅，以及為什么決定在2023年加入其中么？

“Well, I am very happy to be back in the WEC – I have great memories of the races I have done in the past in this championship, also because of the good results. My first 24 Hours of Le Mans (in 2018) is a memory that I keep close to my heart. Returning with Ferrari to the top category is really exciting - I can't wait for the first race at Sebring.”

“嗯，我很高興自己回來了，我在過去的WEC比賽中有著不少美好回憶，有些成績也算的上不錯，我很珍視初次勒芒24小時的經(jīng)歷（2018）。和法拉利一起，回歸最高組別實(shí)在是激動人心，我等不及要去賽百靈了?！?/p>

Can you tell us your initial thoughts on the Ferrari 499P machinery and any testing plans?

關(guān)于499P，你的第一感覺怎樣？有什么測試計劃么？

“The first word was Wow! I found myself in front of a wonderful prototype from Maranello, something that hadn't been seen for half a century... It was an emotion that I find difficult to put into words. The car? I tested it on track and the 499P is a beautiful car to drive.”

“我感覺被驚艷到了！在馬拉內(nèi)羅，我覺得在我面前的是一臺美妙的機(jī)器，一個半個世紀(jì)不見的美麗賽車，這感覺難以言表。至于賽車的感覺么，我在賽道上測試了幾圈，這真的是一臺開起來極其漂亮的車。”

You competed at LM24 back in 2018 with Ferrari in LMGTE Pro, what are your memories of that event and what are you most looking forward to about your return there this year?

你在2018年同法拉利參加了勒芒24小時的LMGTE Pro組別比賽，你對那場比賽有什么特別印象？而今年又要回到勒芒，有什么期待么？

“I have wonderful memories of that year at Le Mans. I have not forgotten the hours driving in the evening and into the night… the difference in speed with the prototypes was considerable and you had to be very careful. This time my perspective will change - I'll be on board the 499P in the fastest class. And this year with the centenary of the race, as well as Ferrari's return to the top class after 50 years, it is going to be something special.”

“那年給我的印象太深了。我還記得在夜幕下飛馳的那幾小時，而且車子同原型車比起來速度差距不小，你得格外當(dāng)心?，F(xiàn)在又不一樣了，我會在499P里挑戰(zhàn)最高組別。而且今年還是勒芒大賽百年紀(jì)念，是法拉利50年后重返最高組別，一切都會極其特別?！?/p>

You’ve had experience across various motorsport disciplines including Formula 1 and Formula E – but what do you foresee as the biggest challenges in the WEC?

你在不少賽事中都有比賽經(jīng)驗(yàn)，包括FE和F1，那在你的預(yù)期里，WEC給你的最大挑戰(zhàn)是？

“Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of driving many cars, in many championships. However, the Hypercar represents something new for me and I'm excited for this new challenge. The focus is always on getting the best possible result but I know it won’t be easy. When you make your debut with a new car, there are many challenges: starting with reliability which is a key factor in endurance racing. We will make a humble start - aware that we are making our debut in this category and that we still have a lot of work to do.”

“我是個幸運(yùn)的人，這些年能在不同比賽中駕駛不同的賽車。不過，Hypercar是我的新篇章，一個新挑戰(zhàn)。我的目標(biāo)始終是取得最好的成績，當(dāng)然，這不容易，尤其是在新環(huán)境里初次上場，有太多難關(guān)，比如說穩(wěn)定性，這在耐力賽里是重中之重。我們會在賽季初保持謙遜，時刻牢記這是我們在新組別里的第一步，告誡自己前路漫漫?！?/p>

We’re going to seven venues with the WEC this season, what ones are you most looking forward to and why?

本賽季的WEC有七個分站，你最期待去哪比賽？

“It has to be Le Mans and also Monza, as it is a home race for both me and for Ferrari.”

“那必須是勒芒和蒙扎，后者是我和法拉利的雙重主場?！?/p>

Giovinazzi and Ferrari AF Corse will be in action with the Ferrari 499P Hypercar for the WEC season-opener on 17 March.

3.17，我們將見證GIO和法拉利，以及他們的新車499P，在WEC揭幕戰(zhàn)上能有哪些精彩表現(xiàn)。
